Let’s Party with Berry & Flambé Southern Suburbs

Let’s Party with Cindy is BACK!! We have been super busy behind the scenes organising the most exciting project EVER! We have teamed up with Berry & Flambé Southern Suburbs to help YOU design your dream themed party! You can also win gorgeous themed cakes and even a full birthday party for your little one in 2017 / 2018!

BUT, before I get into the details of this post and tell you about Berry & Flambé Southern Suburbs, let’s imagine something together shall we? You’re sitting drinking your coffee when suddenly you’re slapped in the brain space with a realisation. That’s right, even though it feels like just yesterday since the last one, it’s actually almost time to celebrate your little person’s birthday again.

The fact that they have told you about eleventy billion times which theme they want, hasn’t been enough to keep it front of mind. And now, as the time is drawing nearer and nearer, they’re begging you for a party to remember. After much discussion, you’ve finally narrowed it down to a theme you can both agree on and…

You have no idea where to start.

So let us help you.

As you know, I write the “Let’s Party With Cindy” column on Tums 2 Tots Online. Why? Well, putting on themed parties is really one of my most favourite things to do. In fact, if I could give up my day job and do it full time, I would. I love being able to create a wonderful memory for my kids to look back on as they grow up.

And girl, I know! I know all too well that throwing a party means hours and hours of prep, baking and planning. But it doesn’t have to… I’ve recently realised that I actually don’t have to do everything myself in order to have an awesome party. Yes, it’s important to keep the things that are important to you, but for the love of all that is good in the world, outsource the rest.

I’ve used Berry and Flambé Southern Suburbs to help me with some of the decor and baking for our parties and they have been awesome! Mellissa is wonderful, patient and just as in love with throwing cool parties as I am. Which is amazing, because if you’re like me, you are also messaging her every 5 minutes with a new idea or the exact colours you want the smarties to be. I’m not even joking.

She has her own business, and is the always-funny voice behind Best Parenting Blog of 2015, 3 Kids, 2 Dogs and 1 Old House!

OMW! I would love to give my son Duke a Hey Duggee themed birthday party for his 3rd birthday on 19 September 2017. He is absolutely besotted with the little “squirrels” and always “woof-ing” along with Duggee.

It would be great to have and outraged cake of the house Duggee lives in. A balloon artist to make the “Squirrels”. cupcakes of different kinds. Bright colours everywhere.

Good day to all involved in this amazing competition! My pride and joy, my son Muhammad Armien will be turning 3 years old on 23 July 2017.

I tried to come up with something as original as possible for a suitable theme but I also wanted him to be familiar with the theme as it is his day afterall. I have decided to combine his two most favourite things currently. He is crazy about bananas honestly he could live off bananas every day if I let him and coincidently finds monkeys very fascinating and funny.

So I thought of combining these and came up with a “let’s go bananas with monkey and friends!” theme. with monkeys being the focal point and other jungle animals as the friends/ sidekicks. Jungle backdrop would be great there’s so much to get creative with ito colour scheme and add ons. For a three year old little boy, this would be a magical experience. Holding thumbs team!

My daughter was born on 9 October 2015. This year she turns 2. This girl is obsessed with water & fish. I think an under the sea themed mermaid party will be perfect. I’m getting excited already. So much ideas, but I guess I’ll leave it to the pro’s.

I wanted the theme to represent life in general, being a free spirit, a wildflower. Far too often kids are told that their personality is too tough, too naughty, too noisy. They are always being tamed. I want my little one to know that I will celebrate her and her personality she grows older.

The theme is have in mind is Royalty. 👑👑 a gold and royal blue candy table with a 4 tier cake with a huge golden crown ontop. Black drippings and a royal themed board behind the candy table with his birth details for the photos. List of ideas are endless.

HI MY NAME IS GILLIAN MY PRINCESS IS TURNING 7 ON THE 18/07/2017, SHE ALWAYS WANTED A FROZEN THEMED PARTY.I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO WIN THIS FOR HER.SHE WILL ALSO LOVE TO DRESSED UP AS ELSA,WITH THE SNOW AND POWERS LOL TO GO WITH IT

My 7 going on 17 (I lie, he’s 8 this year) says Aunty Cindy must please make a Harry Potter theme one for him so mommy can get ideas. I think he doesn’t think I can do it hahahaha. So that’s our entry. Fysh > turning 8 > Harry Potter (he’s in Slytherin btw)

My son is Nahum birthday 11 September turning 3 in 2017 he loves nature and exploring when we go on nature walks so a forest theme would be great. My daughter Isabella will be 9 on 8 December 2017 she wants Spa day party. #LETSPARTYBFSS

Awesome competition. I think my party theme is a very diffret kind of them that most birthday parties. My special needs son has never had a birthday party & most his guests with has special needs varying from Down Syndrome, Autism to a rare disease. Would love to win & throw his first ever party with a bang

Muhammed Laeeq and Ayoub (Ages 3 and 1). I was originally planning to do one big get together for their birthdays as they are a month apart😊

My theme would be an alphabet party where all the guests would be dressed according to the first letter of their name. So if your name starts with F you could dress as a fish, but using Sesame Street as the major theme,so the birthday boys/parents and decor would be done as per the characters in Sesame Street. Thus making the birthday a colourful and educational experience for everyone

Her dream party would be a pamper party. Aisha loves being pampered, she is always pretending to do your hair and nails.

Her dream party would have biscuits in the shape of the band that closes your eyes. 2 layered cake with marzipan figures in the shape of eye make up, nail polish, hair brush. She will have someone come pamper the girls for the day, whether she is doing their hair, nails or relaxing their feet in water. I know she will love that. Snacks would be: water, popcorn, macaroons, appletizers and some fresh fruit.

My youngest son’s birthday is on 21 August and I have struggled with finding a theme that I can DIY and get great ideas for easily. For Ethan’s next birthday, I would somehow love to combine his love for the beach and fast cars for his 3rd birthday. No pressure 🙂

Beth is turning 6 on 5 June and she would love a Seasons Party ! Her birthday is in winter and she’d love to have all the summerish decor and food ideas. That evolved to a Seasons Party . She always chooses her own theme and we run with it. Her 4th birthday was a Christmas party ! 😂

My son’s name is Yusha & he will be 2 on July 3rd 2017. He is my Winter baby so we always struggle to plan parties and find suitable venues. Im really wishing we could do a ‘camping theme’ party. He loves the outdoors & jumping in muddy puddles. I envision smores, a hot chocolate station, camping games, little rucksack favours, lots of plaid & my little man looking like a little lumber jack! Please help me make this day amazing!

My daughter’s 7th birthday is on 20 June, so we always struggle with creative birthday ideas that are not outdoors/weather dependant for my winter baby! This year she is learning to read and is all in love with the idea of a “book-themed” party for 2017 – maybe she’s going to be a wordsmith like her mama?! Would love your help in bringing this magical idea to life.
